The wind ensemble is the higher-level band group, while the lower-level group is the concert band. The two bands have two concerts throughout the year; the winter concert, and the spring concert. The winter concert is late November, while the spring concert is mid-April. The marching band, consisting of the members of wind ensemble, performs at all of the varsity football team's home games throughout the season. When the football team has an away game, the marching band creates a "pep-band" and travels to the opposing team's stadium to support the team. The marching band performs at other various school activities, such as leading the homecoming parade and playing at the pep-rallies. The jazz ensemble is showcased in multiple concerts and performances throughout the year. A few of the showcases include the jazz concert in mid-October, another jazz concert in early February, and the Jazz Cabaret in May. ==The Paw Print== ''The Paw Print'' is an independent [[publication]] of Wilde Lake High School.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://wlhspawprint.com/|title=The Paw Print : The Student News Site of Wilde Lake High School|website=WLHSPawPrint.com|accessdate=April 19, 2018}}</ref> ==Notable alumni== *[[Zach Brown]] (class of 2007) – American football player, free agent *[[David Bentley Hart]] (class of 1982) – theologian and cultural critic<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/local/1982/09/29/national-merit-scholarship-honored/a1707099-bebd-4eeb-ba51-92343f6dacd2/|title=National Merit Scholarship Honored|date=September 29, 1982|work=The Washington Post|accessdate=April 19, 2018|language=en-US|issn=0190-8286}}</ref> *[[Isaiah Coulter]] - attended freshman through junior year<ref>{{cite book |last1=Brugler |first1=Dane |title=The Athletic's 2020 NFL Draft Guide |date=April 7, 2020 |publisher=The Athletic |page=52 |url=https://cdn.theathletic.com/app/uploads/2020/04/07094728/Dane-2020-NFL-DRAFT-FINAL.pdf |url-access=subscription |accessdate=April 29, 2020}}</ref> *Dr. [[Terri L.
